Buy Shares from Amazon NOW!

This past week eBay recently released its third quarter results which came up to be pretty favorable to investors as the stock managed to climb pretty significantly the next day. This week, Amazon (AMZN), a similar cousin to the online auction giant will be reporting its own earnings in attempt to edge back to the glory days of nearly five years ago. However, with the recent fall of Amazon shares over those past five years, as an investor, you may be hesitant to pursue such an action into acquiring more or any, for that manner, shares at all. While such sentiment is understandable, you will be missing out on a great chance to earn quite a bit of capital gains if you do not follow such reasoning.

Can you buy Shares of Verizon Now?

Approximately one week away from Verizon's (VZ) third quarter results, many investors are speculating whether to purchase shares of this lucrative telecommunications giant. In search for answers by examining earnings from other powerful monsters, there is a mix bag in terms of what to expect for both Verizon and the telecommunication industry in general. However, just specifically in the case of Verizon, I believe the real question should not be placed into whether Verizon accumulates high margins when two years are compared with one another or if this company beats its EPS estimate by a few cents, but how will Verizon perform in the next few years.

Navigating Thru a Trading Fiasco

Two weeks ago the Canadian government announced that it was imposing a new tax on income trusts. This announcement shocked the market and sent the Toronto Stock Exchange S&P/TSX composite index spiraling down 2.4% for the day.

I have been caught in downdrafts such as this before.
